Associate Product Manager - eCommerce Startup

Associate Product Manager for an Ecommerce Startup

Job Description:

This position is for our client in Bangalore.

As an Associate Product Manager, you'll keep the engine humming by writing crisp docs, coordinating demos, and shepherding custom bot builds-from brief to ship. Your work frees senior PMs to focus on strategy while ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.

Responsibilities:

- Own product documentation: Maintain release notes, API guides, and internal wikis so everyone-from Sales to Support-has the latest intel.

- Draft feature PRDs: Translate fuzzy ideas into clear problem statements, user stories, and acceptance criteria.

- Build demo bots: Configure sandbox flows in our bot builder to wow prospects and investors.

- Client onboarding liaison: Gather requirements for custom implementations, align timelines, and manage feedback loops.

- Oversee custom bot development: Work with Design & Engineering to scope, track, and deliver bespoke solutions on time.

- Market & user research: Conduct quick competitor teardowns and user interviews to inform backlog prioritisation.

- Metrics & QA: Define success metrics, run smoke tests, and monitor dashboards post-launch.

Must-haves:

- Early-career product exposure: 0-2 yrs full-time or 2+ internships in product / consulting / engineering.

- Docs that sing: Provide a link or PDF sample of a PRD, API spec, or product wiki page you authored.

- Sprint ownership: Led - 2 Agile sprints in Jira/Linear-attach a brief summary in your resume or application form.

- Data literacy: Can demo VLOOKUP, pivot tables, and run a basic SELECT . LIMIT 10 in SQL.

- Stakeholder translation: List one project where you gathered client requirements and shipped a feature within deadline.

- Prototype & demo skills: Comfortable building a bot or API mock (Dialogflow / Postman / LangChain) and presenting it live.

Nice-to-have:

- Hands-on with no-code/chatbot builders (Dialogflow CX, Rasa, LangChain agents, WhatsApp Business APIs).

- Basic scripting in Python or JS for quick automations or API pokes.

- Familiarity with UX tools (Figma, Whimsical) and mapping customer journeys.

- Exposure to SaaS onboarding metrics (activation, time-to-value, NPS, NRR).

- Client-facing experience-requirements workshops, UAT support, or implementation projects.

- Certifications in product/agile (CSPO, AIPMM, PSM) or project management (PMP).

- Past work with analytics stacks (Mixpanel, Amplitude, Looker Studio) to track feature usage.
